George,
Fuel Pressure regulator is new, so my next guess was the fuel filter. If
that doesn't fix it then it's time for a new pump.
BTW, when I put the new distributor caps, rotors, and wires on I noticed
that one of the rotors was black and used a set screw to hold it in place,
and the other was a press fit like the ones that came off of it. I know the
two rotors are different for each side of the engine as are the caps, but
did someone send me the incorrect rotor or is that how they are?
Thanks,
Kyle
